Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome postautologous peripheral stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This is a case of a 56-year-old lady with recent autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. She was presented with a 48 h history of worsening headache, drowsiness, nausea/vomiting and some peripheral neurological symptoms. She developed status epilepticus, was intubated and transferred to intensive care unit. After full investigation with a CT head, CT cerebral angiogram, MRI brain and cerebral angiogram, she was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) with the help of expert opinion, based on the clinical and radiological evidence. The MRI showed bilateral occipital signal changes suggestive of PRES. She was managed with nimodipine, phenytoin and clonazepam with good effect. Eventually extubated, she made good progress on the ward with no further seizure episodes. Functionally she did not appear to have any evidence of residual damage from the PRES. This case discusses PRES on a background of a haematological malignancy and its clinical features.
